Your seen them before. Your eyes aren’t lying. Those are J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. trees you see. The more you look, the more you’ll find. Cities and architects and landscapers look for our unique varieties and quality grown trees when they are designing projects across the United States. Our customers can rely on us to produce hardy trees of consistent exceptional quality and that will flourish in landscapes for decades. Even if the tree isn’t directly from JFS, you can usually still find clues like old tags, paint codes, and topping heights. More likely, though, you’ll recognize some of our signature cultivar introductions that could have only come from JFS. Those trees will continue to beautify, cool, and bring important health benefits to our neighborhoods for years to come. You can proudly tell everyone you know exactly who developed, cultivated, and sold that tree! A special thanks, to farm manager, Aaron Caldwell, for sharing your JFS tree hunting hobby with us!

The Skinny Genes® Oak (Quercus x bimundorum 'JFS-KW2QX' PP 24442) is a popular deciduous tree for urban planting and is known for its narrowly columnar growth habit, mildew resistant rich green foliage that turns lovely yellow in the fall, and storm-resistant branching that ascends very close to the trunk.

A tree befitting Memorial Day

Looking for a tree to plant in honor of Memorial Day? Introducing the Nightfall® Snowbell! A cascade of dark purple leaves tumble from the branches of this elegant weeping tree. The dense, dark, refined foliage sets a lush, high-contrast backdrop for white buds of late spring that open to creamy white, star-shaped flowers that fill the air with their rich fragrance. Bare branches etch a graceful waterfall in the winter landscape. Nightfall® matures to a height and spread of approximately 8’ x 6’. Zone 5. Excellent for small yards, parks, and city landscaping on a small footprint.

Styrax japonicus ‘JFS 6SJ’ PP 34817 Nightfall® Snowbell was developed and introduced by J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. This breakthrough in Japanese Snowbell breeding is the first to combine the deep purple foliage of Evening Light Snowbell with the gracefully weeping form of green-leafed cultivars such as Fragrant Fountain. Named Best of Show in the 2022 New Varieties Showcase presented by the Oregon Association of Nurseries.
